Arsene Wenger has promised to hit all the right notes to ensure Arsenal produce their own Champions League symphony, writes John Cross in Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp claimed in the build-up to Wednesday's showdown that the Londoners were like an “orchestra but they play a silent song” after going eight years of attractive football without a trophy.

Klopp claimed he prefers footballing “heavy metal”, and while opposite number Wenger found the musical comparison amusing he promised his Gunners will drown out the noise in the 80,000-capacity Westfalenstadion with all-out attack.

Ahead of the crucial Champions League group game, Gunners boss Wenger said: “I am not a great specialist in music. Dortmund is a very good football team and Arsenal as well, therefore we should see a good symphony.

“We do take belief from winning at Bayern Munich last season. We play everywhere to win. That will not change and, of course, we will have a positive attitude in our game, in our approach to the game.

“Dortmund is a good side but we have played everywhere in Europe and we have always had the same approach. We will be again like that. It’s difficult to predict what will happen.

“That’s what makes football great as well but Dortmund is a very positive side, we are a very positive side so at least you have the guarantee that the two teams will try to win the game.”

Since winning at Bayern in March, Arsenal have won 13 of their 14 away games and drawn one; while Dortmund are looking for their eighth straight home win in the Champions League.

Arsenal’s victory in Munich did not stop them going out to Bayern, but it has proved a turning point and the catalyst for a revival in fortunes which has seen Wenger's men go five points clear at the top of the Premier League.

And, as Wenger looks to reach the Champions League's knock-out stage for the 14th year running, Arsenal will be facing a team in strong form.

“As we have lost the game at home, the away games are very important for us now,” said the Frenchman, who believes playing away from home has been easier up until recently.

“Maybe we had not the same belief at home because we failed in a few big home games and you could feel there was a bit more scepticism and less belief maybe. Hopefully we got that behind us with the Liverpool game.

“We want to do well in all the competitions. It was a disappointment to go out in the League Cup last week but, of course, the priorities are the Premier League and the Champions League.

“The fact we are in a good position in the Premiership does not change the fact we want to do well in the Champions League as well.”

Wenger also took a swipe at Klopp, who had pointed out that his players ran a total of 10 kilometres more than Arsenal's team did at the Emirates.

And he insisted the Gunners will not get caught out by the same kind of sucker-punch as a fortnight ago, even though they will be going all out to win.

Wenger added: “It’s important, the distances. But it’s not just how far you run, how much you run. How intelligently you run - often the best teams can run less.

“It’s important that against a team like Dortmund, who have a high potential, that you work hard, especially when their players are capable of raising their level to the maximum.
